After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

Spall... he just left without even saying goodbye.

The girl puffed out her cheeks, lowered her head, and looked at the dark hole in the ground, which seemed to have no end in sight.

I won't... get crippled from this fall, will I?

Su Chang swallowed hard.

"Don't be afraid! You people from the Celestial Ship have strong self-healing abilities. Even if you're crippled from a fall, you'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Spah’s voice came slowly from underground.

Listen!

Is this still human language?

"Okay, okay! I'm not kidding anymore. There's a ladder on the right."

Su Chang heard Spa suppressing a laugh.

The girl puffed out her cheeks, walked to the right, bent down, and groped around for a while before finally grabbing a rope ladder.

Feeling the ladder swaying, Su Chang stretched out her foot and put it into the hole, while her hands gripped the edge of the hole and slowly climbed down.

……

While the two were searching for the secret passage, Moze was also busy.

He stood on the rooftop, his body hidden in the night, and moved his gaze around, taking in the church and its surroundings.

The red church, shrouded in night, resembled a blood-stained beast.

The wind whistled past, ruffling the gray tiles beneath his feet. Mo Ze held a plastic bag in his hand, which contained boxes of jelly.

Upon closer inspection, the jellies were already empty, with only a little juice remaining, which had slipped off the packaging.

Maize smacked his lips, chewing on the remaining fruit pulp, and looked towards the church, only to see the tranquil night.

So boring... but I have to keep an eye on things to prevent any accidents.

Moze suppressed a yawn, took out his dagger, and carefully wiped it with his back to the snow-white moonlight.

Not long after wiping, Moze saw several men in black robes walking out of the church.

I need to pull myself together and stop slacking off.

Makze thought to himself, shifted his gaze, and stared down at the church, his pupils gradually contracting.

His eyes, like telescopes, saw clearly the face of every man in black robes, down to the smallest pore.

The men in black robes had sallow complexions and were skin and bones. They carried plastic bags filled with strange fruits and vegetables, which rattled and jingled in their hands.

Red vegetables, green apples, watermelons with tumors...

At first, Moze found the various random crops strange, but after seeing them many times, he got used to them.

They're just ordinary people... nothing to worry about.

I just hope... we can find the core of the Abundant Creation quickly and destroy it in time, so that the Cloud Riders can intervene.

Thinking to himself, Makze lowered his head and continued wiping his dagger.

But the next second, he caught a glimpse of a believer out of the corner of his eye and felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.

It was a little boy with a gaunt face. But what bothered Moze even more was that the boy was limping, and he was leaning on a crutch.

This... seems to be the lame little boy Spa mentioned. Spa got involved in the ritual because he was tracking him.

Spa showed me what the boy looked like...

That child also has a younger sister... It's really not easy.

Moze sighed slightly, but didn't pay much attention, only glancing at the boy again. However, this glance revealed something different to him.

He noticed a rich energy within the boy's body, flowing from his throat down into his stomach and intestines. This abundant energy, originating from the stomach and intestines, then spread throughout his body via his blood vessels.

If it's just about having abundant energy, then it's not a big deal.

But Maize discovered that part of the boy's flesh and blood had transformed into plants, and it wouldn't be long before he completely became a bountiful creature.

He then observed other believers and discovered that these people were even more severely converted than the boys.

That's strange.

He was perfectly normal when I came last time.

Could it be that all believers have transformed into abundant beings? But besides the main altar, there are tens of millions of believers on the planet!

They make up nearly half the population...

If left unchecked, the planet could become a living organism, and even those who remain on it might not be safe.

Thinking of this, Mo Ze's face turned purple.

I need to follow this boy and observe him further... If things don't look right, I must contact General Feixiao immediately!

With a "whoosh," it disappeared from the rooftop.

……

Meanwhile, on the robin's side...

There was an open space outside the hotel. On the open space, a square platform was built high, about three meters high, and behind it was a long building that served as the backstage area for performances.

The platform was piled high with audio equipment. Starlight shone down, bathing the equipment in a silvery glow, as if draped in a thin veil of silver.

Pat-pat, pat-pat...

Footsteps sounded like drumbeats. People ran between the stage and the audience, sweat dripping from their foreheads.

The robin wasn't idle either; it either waved to direct the others or crouched down to help everyone move the equipment.

Like everyone else, her head was covered in sweat. Even the strong evening breeze couldn't dissipate the heat from her head.

The performance is about to start... This is the time when I can't stay still.

The girl thought to herself.

"Miss Robin! Reporting!"

A bearded man ran up, panting. He bent slightly, caught his breath, and said:

"Right now, we're missing a guitar, a tuner, some sound effects and a recording device, and the lighting system isn't complete either. Seriously, are we going to start the show right now?"

"My duty is to spread hope through singing. Even if the equipment is incomplete, I must start!"

"While I'm at it," the robin said, "plug the power cord into the speaker on the ground." With a whoosh, the cord was connected.

"But...do we really need to perform now?"

The bearded man spoke softly, glancing down at the audience.

The robin followed the man's gaze and looked down at the audience, but saw no one, only a grassy field, completely deserted.

Only cameras were set up there. The camera lenses were like big eyes, monitoring their every move.

Yes

Does a performance without an audience really have any meaning?

For a moment, the robin didn't know how to answer, so it could only reach out and pat the bearded man on the shoulder.

"Keep trying, and you'll eventually get it."

After speaking, the girl raised her head, gazed at the starry sky, and let the evening breeze rustle through her hair.

Before the performance... I should go get some fresh air. This kind of mood won't bring a good performance.

The girl thought to herself, then turned and walked backstage.

As soon as they walked backstage and stepped onto the red carpet, the robin heard footsteps coming from all directions.

"Seize that lowly woman! Seize her!"

"Don't ruin the aliens' performance! We can't afford to let the Governor get angry!"

"We should... kill off all these burdens!"

Several men in black military uniforms ran past the robin without even glancing at the girl.

The robin knew they were the governor's personal guards, responsible only to him. No one else, not even a big star like herself, could speak to them without them uttering a word.

These people... have even used security as an excuse to cordon off the area around the hotel. Now, I can't go anywhere except for performances.

Feel……

Like a bird trapped in a cage

A hint of melancholy flashed deep in the robin's eyes.

Let's not overthink it and get back on stage.

The robin shook her head and turned away. But as soon as she took a step, she heard a rustling sound in her ears.

The girl was surprised and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a head suddenly pop out from the pile of junk beside her.

Chapter 153 The Girl's Tears

"Ah? It's you..."

The robin covered its lips, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

The debris rustled and sputtered. A little girl emerged from there, timidly glancing at the robin.

The girl had a sallow complexion and tattered clothes; by any measure, she didn't look like someone who lived in the neighborhood.

However, what the robin cared about most was the other's pearly eyes; after just one glance, he could never forget them.

The robin remembered the girl; she was the one who had given her directions yesterday afternoon. The girl's brother also had a leg disability.

If the Imperial Guards find her... even with my protection, the girl might die. I have to hide her.

The robin thought to himself, without even greeting the girl, he grabbed her little hand and ran towards the equipment room.

The girl didn't resist and let her drag her.

Most of the equipment had been moved to the stage, where there was no one in sight. The two of them dodged several gazes, opened an iron gate, and slipped inside.

Running to the equipment room, Robin turned on the light slightly, took a couple of breaths, and then turned her gaze to the girl.

The girl looked at her too, her large, pearly eyes sparkling, and a blush spreading across her cheeks.

The girl's hands were crossed and hanging down in front of her, rubbing together as if she didn't know where to put them.

A shy little girl... You have to speak to her gently, otherwise you might startle her.

Thinking of this, the robin bent down, a smile playing on its lips, and gently stroked the girl's hair, asking:

"Tell me, why did you come here?"

"I...I...I'm looking for you...pretty sister."

The girl lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Feeling pity, the robin stopped bending over and instead squatted down to look at the girl at eye level.

“It’s dangerous here. You don’t need to take such a big risk just to find me.”

As they spoke, the robin took out a tissue and wiped the girl's cheek, removing the mud from her face.

"I...I...I want to apologize for what happened during the day! My brother really didn't mean it...Please don't be angry..."

The girl stammered, reaching into her clothes with her hand, but after a long time, she couldn't pull anything out, her body stiff as a rusty machine.

The robin was a little anxious, but she didn't want to spoil the girl's good intentions, so she smiled and watched the girl's actions.

The girl took out two sachets and handed them to the robin.

The sachet was crudely made, with lines haphazardly haphazardly arranged. Through the color, one could barely discern the shape of a bird.

Forget about robin pendants, you won't find such a thing even in the third-rate markets of the universe.

"This is... a gift for you and that brother... In Nalando, the chirping of birds represents good fortune and also symbolizes that lovers will eventually be together..."

The girl spoke softly, clutching the ornament in her hand and offering it to the robin, but her head was turned away into the distance, not looking at the bird.

Actually... Spa is excellent, but I have absolutely no connection with him. But then again...

The robin looked at the girl's thumb and saw that there were still tiny pinholes there. For a moment, it didn't know how to refuse.
